CLASS PLACEMENT SURVEY

Primary School Families,



As part of our ongoing planning for the upcoming 2026-2027 year, we are beginning to gather information related to class placement and enrollment at IHPS. If you would like to share input regarding your child’s placement for next year, you may do so by completing the survey linked below. Your feedback is welcome as part of our thoughtful placement process. This survey will be available for the next three weeks. Thank you for your partnership in supporting the success of our Braves.

Sincerely,

Cash Hayden

Principal

Indian Hill Primary School

We are currently looking for 1-2 consistent volunteers to support our kindergarten students in math several mornings each week between 9:00 and 10:35 am. This role involves working with small groups or individual students in a quiet setting to reinforce foundational math skills through engaging, hands-on practice and review activities. If you are interested and available regularly, please reach out to Cash Hayden at Cash.Hayden@ihsd.us

Aramark Student Engagement Survey

Aramark is excited to launch our Student Engagement Survey for the 2025–2026 school year! This survey gives us valuable insight into the Food Service Program and lets us hear directly from YOU. We want to know what’s going well, what we can improve, and what food options our students would like to see in the future.

Thank you in advance for taking 5–10 minutes to complete the survey. We truly appreciate your support as we continue working to serve Indian Hill students in the best way possible!
